Good food, not-so-good but famous and popular food

Some time back, there was a big news in Singapore about this Bah Kut Teh shop that refused the request of Mr Donald Tsang (Chief Exec of HongKong) to delay their closing hours. Apparently Mr Donald Tsang loves their bah kut teh very much. I've been in Singapore since 2001 and I've received only one recommendation, at Eunos. I was disappointed with that one, not impressed by the salty garlicky taste. Colleagues and I was wondering what all the fuss was about. So we checked streetdirectory.com for this particular shop that turned down a VVIP, and made our way there for lunch.

We managed to find it. You have to FIND it. It's located at some backlane, not the kind of roads you will pass by often and spot it.

The spread I'm still not impressed with the salty garlicky taste. I'll say Mr. Donald Tsang didn't miss much. No, let me rephrase, Mr Donald Tsang didn't miss anything. If you want really good bah kut teh, head to Ah Soon @ Tmn Sentosa, JB.

Dinner on the same day was different story though. Thanks to one of our colleagues, we sampled...these.........

Where is this?? Which shop?? Which Restaurant?? Which Place??

Surprise....surprise......it's actually a..... a Vegetarian restaurant. We had vegetarian food. I didn't go bonkers. Their food really were as good as they look. :-) This place is located at Telok Ayer Street, near ChinaTown.

2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...

Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
